That $350 is with no prep kit. Don't know what the prep kit would run. In the prep kit there is rubber gloves, betadine wipe, lube (DON'T GO THERE LMAO) and and dry cloth and a disposal bag.

I am all confused. you said the plain one cost a buck but was not ready for use. The ready for use ones with all the accessories was $2.89 or is the prep kit an additional cost to the ready for use?
The $2.89 is just in an enclosed pre-lubed case. You still need the the cleaning and disposal items.

There are several different scenarios where someone would have to cath themselves..but it is really a fairly easy process and if you know what you are doing its quick. and while I get the gripe with the cath companies on tv..no one should have to reuse a cath. I don't think many people do that anymore..they used to give you a couple and you boiled them..the UTI's people got were not good.
true story..I went into a patients room one day to put in a foley (its a bigger cath that stays in (unlike the in and out caths they are talking about) ) and it was a fairly young man. he took one look at me turned purple and told me he was glad I was his tech and I was great, but could I find someone old and ugly to put it in? his nurse was also fairly young a cute chick so I had to go find him an older nurse

OK, I was trying to not ask personal questions BUT I am failing at that.
Suppose you didn't cath would you eventually spring a leak or would you explode?
Yeah, I knew that. That's why I said Always does; cause if it didn't I'd be dead by now. Gotta pee to continue to live I think....
Spring a leak a little then it backs up into the kidneys and I get a serious infection.

That sucks. I really enjoy peeing. Sometimes it is my favorite activity. I can't imagine not being able to pee on command.

I pee on command; when I command the tube into the hole.
I bet you have some cool party tricks.

What... do you put a drop of red food coloring in the tube or something...
I'll bet green would get a better reaction!What... do you put a drop of red food coloring in the tube or something...
Never thought about the dye. I'm on that for the next go around. That would really freak them out. The tube itself usually scares them enough. I have the really long ones for the men that I use to do 24 hour tests I get the guys with those.

In My Opinion
I can see if you were driving a long distance, where it could be convenient to have a tube run through a hole in the floor of the vehicle.
5 or six thermos's of coffee, a 100 gallon auxiliary tank in the bed of the truck and you could dam near cross country without stopping.
beats depends just to make it to Florida or something.
